Coffee, cake, company and conversation: a friendly and relaxed drop-in for those who are bereaved
Everyone is welcome, whatever their age, however long they've been bereaved, whatever their religious beliefs.
Today Aria was baptised at St Mary's & Mark was baptised at Holy Trinity.
Mark, his fiancé & their family began worshipping with us on a Sunday at Holy Trinity last year. We are pleased to support him as he takes this step on his faith journey.
Aria and Mark, we welcome you
34 people from across all our churches gathered this morning for tea and coffee tasting. Great news is that Fairtrade was definitely favoured overall. We also raised £100 (+ gift aid) for @FairtradeUK. All part of our efforts to be an eco church @ManDioEco@DioManchester
Today we welcome four children into the Church through Holy Baptism. Please keep Asher, Lucinda, Elsie, Finley and their parents and Godparents in your prayers.
Asher, Lucinda, Elsie and Finley: we welcome you!
Shine as lights in the world to the glory of God.

We've not been very active on here for a while but we're relaunching with a new logo and are now for the whole of the C of E in Shaw & Crompton & Thornham. @DioManchester We will attempt to post more often!
Please pray for the 25 children, from across all 5 churches in our Mission Community, who are preparing to receive Holy Communion for the first time. Tonight we were getting to know one another, finding things that are the same and different about us, and playing team games. 🙂
And then Harrison and Harley were baptised at Holy Trinity, and Rowan was baptised at St James.
Harper, Isabella, Harrison, Harley and Rowan - we welcome you!
Shine as lights in the world to the glory of God.

What a joyous morning with lots of baptisms!
First, Harper was baptised in our Eucharist service at St James. Harper's big sister, Grace, is one of our acolytes.
Then, Isabella was baptised in the Eucharist at Holy Trinity. She and her mummy and daddy started worshipping with us last year after attending someone else's baptism.
